[@robertmartyr9432]

I love watching new fans discovering Metallica you can't go wrong! But it's hard to chose a favourite song their all bangers

[@cadleo]

Please do the entire Master of Puppets album. It is flawless back to back and Metallica's magnum opus.

[@williamwillson1013]

Totally agree my favorite Metallica album and they are at their peak ...Cliff Burton at his finest.

[@kissruss]

Couldn’t agree more. It’s been my favorite album of all time since it came out in 1986. It never sucks

[@charlessmith1698]

Every song is 100% amazing. This isn't even the fastest song on there. You'll love it all!!!!!

[@davejersey8464]

When I saw Metallica with Ozzy at the Joe Louis Arena in Detroit they opened with this song. The lights went out and a spotlight shined on an Acoustic Guitar sitting in the middle of the stage basically playing itself then Metallica popped out of nowhere and just went nuts into Battery, it was so crazy and so loud. What a great concert!

[@doug7677]

I love knowing when the sick guitar riffs are coming, and seeing your face when they hit is just priceless! I wish there were more people your age that are willing to listen outside their box. You just got yourself sucked into a whole different universe of music! Rock on

[@lucaof4478]

I’m glad you loved this song 🤘🤘 Please listen to blackened next i’m sure you’ll love it

[@RTJustice99]

Live Seattle 89 plz

What I came to suggest as well

[@bobguy3475]

Yes! Blackened is amazing!

[@leonardshead5301]

I absolutely love blackened but whiplash is probably the next one he should listen to

[@susanconstable2113]

Battery- we charge them up and they charge us up. A song for their fans- long live the Metallica family! Their new album 72 seasons has a song called “Lux eterna” another song about being at a show and what it’s like.

[@thomasschwanda7054]

The song is not about a Battery, but a street in San Francisco named Battery Street. The club 444 Battery is where they played some of the first shows :)

[@ARandomInternetUser08]

@@thomasschwanda7054 dude, that's literally what makes this song, and Metallica songs in general: the potential of multiple meanings. I know they were making this with multiple intentions.

Old guy here, I was 15 when Master came out and I just ran around the room like a madman when I first heard Battery. You brought me back years my dude, thanks for this video.

[@garymulviel9948]

I was 15 to and still love them..best band to walk the earth ever

[@mess36]

Hi bro, I really love watching your reactions to Metallica. I don't speak English and I have to use an automatic translator built into the browser to understand what you are saying. I'm really looking forward to your reaction to metallica's performance with the song "Creeping Death" in Moscow at the Tushino airfield in 1991. This must be seen at least once in your life. I guarantee it will just blow your mind. I support your passion for guitar, James Hatfield and Metallica really had a strong influence on several generations of musicians, including me. I even had to take out a loan from my bank to buy myself a Gibson Explorer like James With love from Russia

[@daveb1797]

I was a junior in high school when this dropped, still my favorite Metallica song.

[@sixthcrow]

I'll never forget being in the pit for their concert and they opened with this song....I was INSANE!

[@darrylhewes2376]

The entire Master of puppets album is just sick. My favourite album of there's As it's the album that got me into Metallica all those many moons ago.

[@McSomething15]

His face at 2:10 is perfect. Love watching people discover Metallica for the first time.

[@Dyll87]

Gotta say I'm super jealous of your new Metallica journey. If I could go back 20 years and rediscover Metallica like you are now, I would. Just to revisit how mind-blowing it was upon first hearing these songs & watching the live clips. Just wait until you attend your first live show and feel that intensity & energy in person.. It's an experience like no other. Keep these videos coming, brother! 🤘

[@Godric_71]

Battery is my favorite song on this album

[@stevenstarr8702]

It's amazing that a band gets batter as you go back in time

[@johnmchugh8049]

I’ve always thought you could determine someone’s age by their favorite Metallica album - im 49 so it’s between master and justice 😂

[@sanpedrox2]

Up to black album is insanely good, black album is good. Everything after is not very good (imo)

[@Kim-J312]

Metallica was my 1st concert 85 or 86 I was in HS was 14 or 15yrs and didnt have my drivers license. My bf and her brother took us . I remember we were on ground floor , like 10th row and my bf brother put me on his shoulders so I could see better and he was 6f 6in , I saw everything and Lars the drummer threw me his drum stick ❤ and I caught it 😊 !!

[@UncleUncleRj]

Great, now that you've heard this, you absolutely have to react to the Live Seattle '89 version of Battery - faster, heavier and more energy than ever ⚡⚡

[@Deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeez]

I have been waiting FOR SO LONG!!!! What could come from mixes like rock and hip hop and rap and more.... This is the beginning of amazing things :'D

When you have the time watch the live version in Seattle 1989👊🤘

[@jordifernandez131]

I've heard all this master-pieces of this metallica's master-album for decades. Now, I can re-hear them again with a new ingredient: your reactions! And you can be sure I'm enjoying it. Thanks a lot for you videos.

Years ago when I was skateboarding heaps someone gave me a copy of Master of Puppets and it was the first time I ever heard Metallica and I was absolutely hooked.

My Dude. It’s so rad to see you feel the music! I see it in you; Your blood pressure rising, your heart beats faster because their music is like a drug. I saw a link to Master Of Puppets earlier tonight (your reaction from 9 days ago) and really it was just because I wanted to hear the song at that moment but seeing how “gobsmacked” you were I wanted to hear more Metallica and watch you find a new part of yourself (subscribed). ONE is my favourite but watching you deep dive has made my night. I’m in Canada. Your videos are reaching out across the world!

[@MollyBoyTV]

Thanks for the great comment man. All the positive feedback I’m getting helps me stay motivated! Also the fact people from all over the world are watching is unreal

[@BigTree70]

I love your genuine reactions. That was my reaction when I first heard Battery!! I loved them since hearing Kill 'Em All. I've been a rock fan since I was a toddler. Dad would crank his Beatles, Grand Funk and Led Zeppelin albums. I found other artists as I got older like Scorpions, Judas Priest, Raven, etc. and couldn't get enough of Thrash Metal in its infancy! I was 13 in 1983 for Metallica's debut.

[@kylecoleman9496]

I envy you I wish I could hear these songs for the first time again....but hearing these songs 40 years later still give me goose bumps.

[@philrob1978]

One of the greatest openings to an album as you'd want. Contains everything that is to come, in one way or another. This album is their masterpiece in this phase of their career. And as always, you're very invested - which is brilliant and delightful to watch.

[@victorsavov2073]

If you search KZbin, there's a backing track of Battery - minus the lead guitar. The riff that James plays as the background of the last solo literally makes me rip babies' heads off, it cranks me up on insane level, I'm not even joking.

[@mikkolappalainen9916]

Omg how much I listened this album in the late 1980. I remember when i finally got cd-version for myself. I was so proud of it. Great memories

[@bqcaldwell99]

I’ve always LOVED how they’ve layered their guitars to capture all this. It’s beautiful really!

[@c.willharden9589]

I saw them on the "Justice Tour" with Queensryche supporting.EPIC

[@jhobs909]

This song brings back memories being 17 years old when this album was released. Listening to this in moms car on the weekends with friends. Haha! Had one knob for the bass /treble. Blew out the speakers within a week! Lol! Very cool to see the younger generation appreciate this band so many years later.

[@christsavage9119]

New subscriber here and love that even though your very young,you have a long enough attention span to enjoy "METALLICA" because it's "A MUST" have! New Metal is crap! Fast doesn't equal good! Metallica adds thrash,classical,melodic,classic rock tones like no one else! You will never find another Metallica!! Man I envy your virgin ears my friend! I used to go to bed every night with my headphones on letting this album rip at 12 years old!! In 2015 "Master of Puppets was selected by Library of Congress for preservation in the national recording registry for being culturally,historically,aesthetically,significant! First and only Metal record to achieve it!! "And Justice for All" album is kick ass too! Live is to die,blackened,shortest straw,Harvester of Sorrow! Again,,you can't really go wrong!! Hopefully you'll be adding these and many more to your playlist! Welcome to the family

I was a 90s kid when black, load etc came out it wasn’t till the 2005 when online chatter about how they sold out I finally listened to their “old stuff” and I was literally blown away same as you .. I think I had battery and master on repeat for a month straight .. also trying to learn how to play it on guitar.. and realizing James is at God level

[@loristone9242]

This was so great to watch. My obsessed Metallica fan trained ear is used to segueing into Master of Puppets right at the end of Battery after years of listening to it over and over, in order, since the 80's. 😂 Their arrangement of the album and how each song transitions from track to track is like a metal symphony. I am looking forward to going through all your videos, which I am doing now. Please consider Harvester Of Sorrow from the Justice album. I think you will love it.

[@billpemberton7207]

I completed basic infantry training in May of 86.I had an open contract so they sent me to another school to train on the Bradley infantry fighting vehicle.There were 3 men to a room and the atmosphere was more laxed than it was in basic training.You could have a radio in your room and other comforts.I had a black guy in my room that was into heavy metal and he introduced me to this album.I was hooked the first time I heard it.I think the US put this album in the National library.

[@cyberdemon1702]

Hey I love Metallica but let’s be real here. Lars fakes his way through half the songs and Kirk can lose his way live on solos and stuff. Still an amazing good time but they don’t exactly duplicate this precision live, and that’s totally ok.

[@sarahpenisten597]

@@cyberdemon1702 I’ve been INSIDE the snake pit while they perform and speaking from my own observable experience, they are so tight. (And as a sidenote, unless you can personally play at their par or better than I would be grateful for you not to comment, because thou knows not of what thou speaks.)

[@gabrielstratton1775]

I don't know if anyone said this yet but I scrolled a bit and didn't see it. This was a song they wrote to describe their fans. "Circle of destruction" was a line to describe circle pits at shows. "Can not kill the family, battery has found in me" describes not being able to stop the love fans have for the band... it's pretty cool imo

[@dazed1nyc]

I remember being 9 yrs old, my older cousin and her friend were babysitting me. I was listening to the radio, they came in my room, asked if I wanted to hear "real music", then sat me down and put this album on beginning to end and I was never the same again. Got my first guitar a couple months later \m/

1:49 - Yes, acoustic. Specifically a nylon-stringed classical/Spanish guitar.

[@Dimefield]

Interesting that you mentioned starting to play guitar as you get more into metal music. That's like me in around year 2000. At that time my introduction to metal was, you guessed it, Metallica and Pantera. I had played guitar a little bit before getting into metal but the playing really got going after discovering there's more than just the basic chords.

[@TheUncleDolanShow]

Metallica is the perfect band to get into playing the guitar with. Every single song has unique moments that are always fun to play. I could play the same Metallica song over and over again and probably never get bored. Let alone playing any of the 120+ songs in their catalog. It's amazing. Then you can branch out into other metal bands.

Metallica inspired me to pick up a guitar when I was 11. I took six years of music theory and have been in two signed bands and have toured and played with some big names. Pick up the guitar and don’t put it down. I’ll answer any of your questions along the way. This is a good warm up song for me. Keep it coming 🤘

[@brettkenschaft4239]

I've watched quite a few of your videos now and noticed you occasionally ask for suggestions. As far as rock and heavy metal you are off to a great start with Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, AC/DC, and Metallica. In fact those are 4 of my top 5 favorites! You're only missing Black Sabbath to fill out my holy quintet (which would be another great band to do). But my actual recommendation is Tool. They are a very unique band that has a LOT of amazing songs. I think of them as a modern day Pink Floyd. It's much heavier but has very meaningful lyrics and technically complicated music like Floyd. They have long songs with bizarre time signatures and very strong vocals and are just bad ass! BIG rabbit hole to take on! Hope you check them out and enjoy it. Keep rockin 🤘🤘 Edit: You've now dipped into Sabbath to make my top 5 complete! Good on ya!!

[@susanconstable2113]

You need to do more from kill em all album! It’s their first! The one that got us all hooked on them back in the early 80s! Whiplash and four horsemen please!

Have you seen the Bootleg Video, "Cliff Em' All"? It's a must see for any Metallica Fan. Video follows TIME era with Cliff on Bass.

[@kellyzak2375]

Metallica is actually a great for you to learn guitar. Some of their riffs are quite easy but they're also super heavy and so fun to play.

[@MarkPreziose-dj9cz]

Like I said the last time I was 23 years old in 1986 and this is what we were rocking out to back then anyway after it became commonplace of hearing hard metal Rock like this we used to change the lyrics and mess with it LOL hence the term flubba dubba battery

[@glenseivers8318]

Great reaction bro 👍

[@rachaddle6581]

Metallica began to start becoming popular during my age of 18yrs old (1990). I was a fan immediately. This was after their first recording of Garage Days. One of their very first performances was in Buffalo NY at Monsters OF Rock in 1990. I was there! They were brand spankin new to everyone in the crowd.🔴 I absolutely loved their music. Would sit & listen over n over & HEADBANG cuz loved the sound sooooooooooooooooooooooo much!!!💥 I'm a major Pink Floyd fan/listener & have been since the 1970's. You can't compare these 2 bands. Both too different sounds. So you can love both. Rock n roll has soooooooo many different sounds. There's Metal, Heavy Metal, Classic Rock, Southern Rock, Grunge etc..soooooooo many.

[@master4992]

Back in the day Metallica was a great metal band!

[@CreepinDeath359]

Now you have to do the 89 Seattle concert live version

[@chrisbanks6659]

According to Wiki (and this is mostly correct info, I know): The theme of the song is based around the San Francisco thrash scene in the 1980s. The most prominent club played by Metallica was the Old Waldorf at 444 Battery Street in downtown San Francisco. The lyric "Cannot kill the family, Battery is found in me" is a statement that society does not understand the scene and that those within it ("the family") will defend it as a show of solidarity against the glam metal scene that was popular in the Los Angeles area. The tone of the song is of familial ties and the positive release of energy through interest in metal.

[@loui4515]

Bro love your reactions and you should really react to their early live stuff like 1989, '85 and '83 i really can recommend ' The Thing That Should Not Be ' live from 1889 in Seatle

[@room22-1]

Back in the day, I was on the Megadeth side..until i listened to metallica. Cliff inspired me to play bass. Or rather he inspired me to play it better. I was probably about your age back then, so good start!
